Birth is in progress



My Grandson is approaching this world
A new life my friends, is on his way in
I pray to hold him! God's warmth is with me
When he enters this world he will bring
The peace of a new beginning!
He will breathe the air we all share.
If angels watch his sleep, God beckons
Him as time begins to leap.
What hours are ahead, no one can say
That brings such joy this beautiful day.
He works for freedom,
and freedom calls
No other freedom here on earth
Is as beautiful as an infants
Birth!!!!
